Nannies Plus community, this is an event you will not want to miss! You have to check out our placement specialist’s childhood favorite: Sulphur Creek’s Unhaunted House! Sulphur Creek Nature Center is truly dedicated to wildlife rehabilitation, and teaching little ones about our indigenous species along the way! Every year, they open up the gates to the center for some Halloween fun.
This year’s theme is Neverland, so your kiddos will be whisked away to the second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning! Say hello Tink, Peter, and all the Lost Boys! Kids can even feel confident in greeting a villain like Captain Hook will a strong “ahoy!” – because this event is all about friendly characters, whimsy and magic. You’ll be captivated by the charm of the wooded area, the fire for roasting marshmallows, and all of the sweet animals who participate!
Take note of this inside scoop tips for you, friends! First of all, remember to buy your tickets to for the Unhaunted House early, because they tend to sell out fairly quickly. All other carnival festivities are free of charge, and tons of fun! Also, lots of kids like to dress up in their Halloween costumes for the event, which is absolutely welcome. Just make sure to bring warm jackets, because the area tends to get chilly at night.

Swing by the Oakland Museum of California for the 24th annual Dia de los Muertos, or Days of the Dead, festival! This beautiful celebration is an incredibly enriching event. Fill up on tasty traditional Mexican foods, marvel at the museum’s display of ornate ofrendas, and enjoy the entertainment! On the garden stage, Fuego Nuevo Ballet Folklorico of San Jose will perform at 1:00 p.m., and Mariachi Los Cachorros from San Pablo will take over at 1:45 p.m. Don’t forget to be extra careful bringing home your decorated calaveras, or sugar skulls – they’re very fragile!
